Master bedroom

Here are a few photographs of  the finished bay window area with the furniture back in place.


Nice new VJs painted a crisp white

This picture shows the before cream colour with the new white

This completed portion is like the appetiser for when we start the major painting down the track. But the next project is our eldest son's room.

And please don't judge my lairy bedspread. I know it is like a patchwork of Hawaiian shirts!

It was a gift from some relatives in Tahiti. I'm kind of fond of it because when you first wake up in the morning you think you're back on the island of Moorea...yeah, I'm dreaming big...

    I actually like it, but I laughed when you said please don't laugh! Good idea waking up to that feeling :)

    Love the paint job too - coming along nicely.

    I like it too. It could easily be a 'hand curated selection of ancient tropical textiles'. Couldn't it. I also like your bedside tables. BUT I have a question. Don't you wake up at the crack of dawn? Our bedroom has blackout curtains!!!

    Thanks everyone!
    Jane, laughed at your comment. And yes I'm working on that - blinds are on the cards. Although, it is not a big issue with the early rising little one. It's still dark when he starts stirring!!

    The white looks good with the dark brown of your cabinet and floor. And I'm not judging your bedspread but I've put making a new bedspread for you on my To Do list.

    Hi, Glad I stumbled across your blog. Love that your blogging about your renovation. We have completed 4 of our own so I know some of what you are going through. Crisp white is one of my faves for walls - always looks fresh and you can add splashes of colour like your gorgeous bedspread! Look forward to your next post. Michelle

    I want a bedspread JUST like yours!!! Anything that will take me to Tahiti right now is good for me. It's gorgeous. It reminds me of a fabulous tablecloth that an artist friend of mine made which should've been a wall hanging and NOT a tablecloth. Yummy colour!! Oh - of course the VJs are lovely too!!

    That whole area looks like a holiday waiting to happen...but I'm with the 'blackout curtain' brigade. Must be dazzling in the morning!
